COL. MURRELL IN TOWN.

Col. VIM. Murrell, one of the
greatest politicians in tire country
passed through the city this week
in route for Boston. The Col. was
informed that his friend Major
Walker had been retired. He said,
that it was no more than what he
expected as Walker was too small
for the position to which he had
been elevated. "The wheels of the
gods grinds slow, but wonderfully
sure, said the Col, and as he was
attending to business more impOr-
tant he had no time TO call on the
Ex-Major to congratulate him upon
his unsuccessful career as chief OF
police.

Never before in the history OF
literary entertainments in this
city has there ever peen a litera>
ry association greeted with such |
a large and enthusiastic audience
as the Philomathian was on Thurs
day and Friday evenings at the
End Baptist church. The occas-
sion was a literary and musical
Carnival. Every available space
in the church was crowded. The
society may we'll fell proud OF its
popularity among the people. At

satin, trimmed with pearl passam-
entrey and natural flowers. MISS
Lulie wore cream cloth with car
dinal surrah trimmings anil nat
ural flowers. They took the

that they are two of the most at
tractive young ladies Oh the
stage.

They were great.

THE FEAR OF DRAUGHTS.
Suggestive Comments on the Cause OF

Suggestive Comments the Cause OF
Colds and Kindred Ailments.
Foul dusts in rooms can not be got
rid of by any amount of sweeping and
carpet-beating. The only thing that
will remove and replace it is current
of comparatively pure air from the out
side. Except in very cold weather
there should always be two open win
dows in each room, on opposite sides.
IF we should follow that advice" the
Mortified reader will exclaim, 1--WE
should all catch fatal cold. Don't
/ remember a dozen colds | got by
being exposed to a sudden draught?
Only a few nights ago, when l occupied
a seat near the door of theater, the
door was left open during the intermis-
sion, and the draught. though pleasant
enough gave me bad cold. No, thank
you. No draughts for mer' This
logic seems good, yet it is utter sophis-
try. AS a metaphysician would say,
the draught was only the occasion, not
the cause, of the cold. The real cause
was the foul, hot air in the theater,
which demoralized your skin and re-
Taxed its blood vessels, so that they
were unable to react suddenly and en-
dure the healthful, cool air from the
street. In other words, it was not the
draught that gave you cold, but the
sudden transition from hot to cold air.
Such transition always is injurious to
the skin, whether it be from hot to cold
or from cold to hot air. But if you are
not overheated Il current of cold air is
never injurious. AS one of the greatest
authorities on hygiene, Prof. Reclaim
remarks: "Draughts are not injurious
unless we are in glow. To healthy
persons they can not possibly do so
much harm as the stagnant air in a
close room. The fear of draughts is
entirely groundless, though it affects
most people in q manner which is simply
ludicrous. 1t is high time to acquit
draughts of the charge of being the
cause of our colds and to convict the
true culprit, the injurious hot-house at
mosphere in our looms. Why do peo-

TEMPERANCE READING.
THE DRUNKARD.

What object is this lying stretched on tho
road?
Can this be man in the image of God?
A man highly gifted; pride, honor and power,
10 VIII and to reason his God-glven dow'rg
But mark how he's fallen, the victim OF lust
His pride and his reason alike in the dust.
The front of his waistcoats all glossy with
dirt,
And horrible vermin crawl over his shirt:
In rags and in tatters his trousers remain
Patched over and over again and again.
In tatters the jacket still clings to his back,
ANA gray Is the hair which once was Jet black
His shoes, stringless and shabby, gaping with
many rent
The soles and the uppers on parting are bent
And his stockingless feet are plainly seen
Frotruolhg from where the uppers have been.
Brimless the hat which he wears on his head.
He's being to whom all decency's dead.
He'd barter his soul for the means to get
drink;
He is what he seems, travelling sink.
His featuresnare blotched weather beaten and
scarr'd
For the best of his life he has fought and drank
hard,
And he seems an old man; though he barely
has passed
The spring-time of life, he is drifting fast
A-down tfe's stream, a wretched worn-out
man.
Yet still he will struggle and strive and plan
Strong drink to obtain, to tighten his care
And TO brighten the darkness OF his despair.
Yet twas not always thus with him, l ween;
His soal once know sunny spot OF green,
Kre broken hopes and aspirations blighted,
And fond deep love and passion sighted,
Threw him from the pedestal of self-respcct
Desperate, despairing, ruined and wrecked.
Yet he once was a handsome, dark-haired
boy
A proud fathers pride, fond mothers joy,
And he grew up to manhood, manly and brave,
And no one dreamd he would eer become
slave
To the terrible demon, the enslaver OF men,
Who'd engulf the whole world in his Shiny
den;
But he was tempted he fell, as thousands will
fall,
And the demon with glee will fetter them all.
Slowly he sank, lower and lower each day,
In the pride of his youth to the demon prey,
Constantly drinking, a drunkard at last.
The respect Of the worlds but a dream of the
past;
Strong drink to obtain he'd play ev'ry craft;
He'd barter his soul for the soul-scathing
draught,
The draught of l-poison-manhood's night
shade
To blight and to wither, to curse and degrade;
To shrivel the talents and genius drag down,
And bring 10 one level the peer and the clown.

Experience has preceded science in
crossing it from daily rations. This is
the more significant. because the ia
bles of food intended for soldiers, for
sailors, for those in Institutions and
for invalids, have been studied out by
the very highest authorities, and have
been tested by the most exact expert
ence. 1t has been while in search after
the best methods for getting the most
intense force and power of endurance
out of men in national service by sea
and by land that this evil spirit has
been cast out. All other considera-
tions have been thrust aside, and on
this material basis alcohol has been re-
tired from service. Where continuous
power is desired for efficient use it has
no place. In training for athletic
sports or manual contests it is rigidly
excluded from the dietary even of
those who have been accustomed to its
use. 1t utterly fails to be nutriment,
or to answer the purposes for which
foods are intended. In view of its APP
palling effects on society, even if it
were food it would need to be proven
to be necessary food. 1t accom-
plishes so much injury to human
health and life, that it ought to be
prohibited from use. Even rye would
be prohibited from use if no rye could
be had which had not ergot in it, and
if the disease known as ergotism came
to be prevalent among the people, AS
is disease from alcohol.-M Y. hide

OF INTEREST TO LADIES.
Two Incidents Illustrating the Difference,
There Is in People.

Within two days the listener wit
messed n couple of Incidents on Wasn-
ington street which illustrated admira-
bly, the difference there is in people.
Passing along near the corner of Tenn
pie place he saw two stout, elderly
ladies, standing side by side-one fac
ing one way, however, and the other
the other way, glaring ut each other
with furious eyes. There was little,
grinning crowd about them, and when
the listener came quite up to them he
saw what was the matter. In meeting
and undertaking to pass, the clothing
of these two elderly ladies had come in
contact, and projecting button upon
the dress of one had caugh. in the lace
on the garments of the other. Their
strain to disentangle themselves had
drawn them into II regular snarl; the
wrath of each had been reused to the
boiling point. and each woman seemed
to be exclaiming, in the language of
Scripture: "Who shall deliver me from
this body of death?" Instead OF
leaving the Acknowledgement to
one of the two, to be managed
with elaboration and discretion, each
was Juggling away spitcfully at the
point of jointure. There seemed to be
likelihood of an occasion for the inter-
ference of the police presently, for the
faces of the two ladies were growing
redder and redder, and their eyes snap
ping more and more furiously. Pres
emily one lady gave desperate tug;
the lace gave way and the tie was sew
cred. But imagine the feelings of the
lady whose lace had been lacerated!
Next day, passing over almost tho
same ground, the listener saw pretty
girl. brown-eyed, ruddy-cheeked and
short-haired, and stout Irishwoman
in bonnet, red and black shawl and
green poplin dress, who were walking
in opposite directions, stop all at once.
caught fast. just as the two women of
of the day before had been. The young
girl smiled family and good-naturedly.
The Irishwoman took in the situation
and curtseyed.

sign that we'll meet in Heavenr'
The young lady smiled more pro-
nouncedly and said: "Wait a moment
and l will unfasten it."
With half y minutes work she olsen
tangled the snarl.
"Ah, miss, reminder it," said the
Irishwoman, rs she moved away, RAJ

A Sore Offense to the Liquor Men.

1t is rumored that the liquor-men are
making strenuous efforts to depose Mr..
Powderly us the official head and
leader of the Knights of Labor. The
exclusion OF liquor-sellers from men,
bership in the order is sore offense to
them. Mr.. Powderly's declarations
against the drinking of intoxlcants,
and against the drink-traffic as opposed
to the best interests of working-melN
and their families, together with his
personal example of total abstinence,
render him specially obnoxious. That
his influence should be felt and feared
by them is quite to be expected. For
the good of all concerned it is to be
hoped that the large and powerful boa.
of which he is chief executive may not
yield to the clamor of the liquor-men,
but give him loyal support in his op-
position to alcohol and the saloon. -
